On September 20, 2006, the Copyright Office initiated a proceeding to address several issues associated with the secondary retransmission of digital television broadcast signals by cable operators under Section 111 of the Copyright Act. The Copyright Office sought comment on matters raised by the Motion Picture Association of America and Joint Sports Claimants in their Petition for Rulemaking regarding the simultaneous retransmission of digital and analog broadcast signals as well as the secondary retransmission of multiple streams of digital broadcast content. The Notice of Inquiry also sought comment on cable operator marketing and sales practices and equipment issues associated with the retransmission of digital broadcast signals that may result in possible changes to the Copyright Office’s existing rules and the cable statements of account forms.
